The North Shore Nordic Association, a 501C3 tax exempt non-profit charitable organization formed by local residents with the goal of acquiring and operating ski grooming equipment on some of our local trails. The NSNA will work with local land stewards to groom a classical and skate ski lane on several existing trails including Patton Park, portions of the Discover Hamilton Trail, Appleton Farms and Grassrides, Bradley Palmer State Park and hopefully Sagamore Hill.

The NSNA is seeking funding from multiple sources to acquire an 84” Groomer and a special utility snowmobile to tow the groomer. Additionally we seek to acquire a trailer, operating insurance, fuel, signage, trail maps and signs. Please consider making a donation in any amount on our website www.nsnordic.org. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. WE need to raise a total of approximately $25,000 to get the operation up and running for the winter of 2015-2016. Subsequent years will only require funds to operate and maintain our equipment and pay for fuel and insurance. The NSNA will be an entirely volunteer run operation and we are seeking anyone interested in helping out in any way.

Once we are operational all ski trail use will be free of charge and supported by donations. NSNA will issue donor cards, as a token of appreciation to those making a donation of at least $100.

NSNA is also seeking to partner with corporate sponsors to fund a portion of our capital campaign.

How do I determine which size to order?

The Nordic wear has an athletic fit, meaning a tighter next to skin feel. The hoodies are somewhat more relaxed, but still have a sporty fit. For a looser fit, order the next larger size. For exact measurements click on the Craft size chart.

Which article of clothing is best for me?

It really depends on how you ski and what you're looking for! If you need something warm, choose the heavier-weight thermal items. The thermal jacket is the warmest jacket offered; the thermal cycling jersey is a great option even if you don’t cycle – it is made of an insulating material that is slightly thicker than the race jersey. If you overheat easily while skiing, the race jersey is a great option. If you're just looking for something comfy to wear while you sip your hot chocolate, we love the hoodie. More detailed descriptions for each item can be found in our Pop-Up Web Store.

Why is there a production minimum, and what is it?

Because our clothing has a unique, custom design, a 5 order minimum per item is required before Craft can go into production. If there is an issue with your order we will contact you directly.

When is the clothing available to order?

The clothing is only available for a very limited time. The Pop-Up Web Store is open now and will remain open until Sunday, October 9.

How do I get my order?

The orders will ship from Craft to North Shore Nordic in Hamilton, MA. We will host several pick up evenings in select locations convenient to our customers.

When will my order arrive?

In time for the holidays! Did we mention these make great gifts? Your Nordic wear order will arrive in December; the hat and hoodie will be here by late October.

What does NSNA do with proceeds from the sales?

Proceeds from product sales help support trail improvements, trail network mapping, and signage. Right now we are gearing up for trail maintenance so we are ready to groom trails as soon as the snow falls!
